Speaking before this group, Mr

ims hgure IS based on annual ra
ceipts from the State gasoline tax of
vu,vvv,vvu, motor vehicle registration
fees of $16,000,000 and Iredell nid f
$11,000,000. The onlv thimr neces
sary is to make sure nf
legislation that these revannae q,q
spent exclusively for road purposes.
lo do otherwise would not only be a
travesty on good judgment and sound
fiscal policy but a breach of trust
with highway users who nav nut nn.
nually millions of dollars in s-asnline
taxes and motor vehicle registration
fees for better roads and highways."
"The average automotive tax bill,"
he continued, "amounting tn mnra
than $100 per vehicle in North Caro
lina, is among the highest in the coun
try. In fact, the motor vehicle own
ers in this State paid m6re on the
average in state gasoline taxes, state
motor vehicle fees, federal caanlina
taxes and other federal excises during
4t tnan m all except three other
states throughout the nation. As
compared with the average for the
United States, the North Carolina
averacre is about $25.00 Der vehiVla
per year higher.
At the same time." Mr. Snaro-ar
concluded, "North Carolina citizens
are less able to bear a heavy load of
taxation than are citizens of most
other states. This is shown hv raaant
ly compiled Bureau of Census figures
